postage !!!

I know that some sellers on E bay try and make a few bob on postage and packing but I wonder if anyof the bidders on these chisels have noticed :? :oo:

seems that the seller does know and is prepared to do the right thing - have a look at the questions and answers on the item. EBAy's automatic postage quotation system could be the culprit, not the seller

I know the couriers are expensive but I didn't think even UPS would gouge you THAT much!
Makes using the post office look better and better.

I had that experience once when the postage I was charged was about 3 times that on the parcel when it arrived.
yep...same here, but thats ok if you get a bargain..
this postage however is more than twice the value of a new set of these chisels...then add the winning bid on to that...:oo:
